Denise Griffin

Denise Griffin received a degree in electrical engineering from Tufts University in 1991. Following graduation, she worked as a systems engineer at GTE Government Systems for six years, after which she worked in several dot-com companies and as a technology partner program manager at a company acquired by Cisco. Griffin took an extended leave to be home full time with her children and concurrently became actively involved in the Society of Women Engineers and IEEE to maintain her professional identity until her return to work in 2011. She now works in Business Intelligence/Operations and remains the Tufts University SWE Counselor and attends almost every yearly SWE Conference. She is also a volunteer interviewer for Tufts University, and the Region 1 Coordinator for IEEE Women in Engineering.
In her 2009 Society of Women Engineers Grassroots Oral History Project interview, Griffin discussed her experience at Tufts University; her decisions to move from a large corporate environment to dot-coms and startups and back again; and the personal importance of her professional volunteer work during her unplanned time as a stay-at-home mother.
